Thank you. I did go a different way than the standard 2x4 frame. I really didn't like all the room the 2x4's took up so I used 3/4" hardwood plywood. I built the bottom frame with 2x4's laying down and built up from there. I used the same concept as those cheap stands I've seen but with better quality plywood.

Here are the plans I sketched up for my stand. I forgot to add on the plans a piece of 3/4" plywood across the back, bottom portion of the stand. That piece was approximately 2' tall and stretched the length of the stand. I started by gluing and screwing the top of the stand to side panels. I then glued the front pieces in and clamped them down. Once I had them in place I screw them down. Finally, I built the base in the bottom and screwed it in. I then used molding around the top and bottom and 1/4 molding down the two front sides.
